I will be explaining how to build cohesive teams that perform well.
Cohesiveness is developed in four stages, Forming, Storming, Norming and
Performing. Cohesiveness is when team members stick together and remain
united. A team needs good communication in order to perform effectively.
Effective teamwork is an essential feature of a successful organisation;
therefore, team building is important. Teamwork will be more successful in a
good and supportive environment. Managers play an important role in creating
high-performance teams. It is also important to have team members that
possess complementary skills and knowledge. Team building starts with the
recruitment of the right mix of team members. Team members are then
coached and mentored to create a high-performance team.
Managing the flow of new people and retaining those who are already there is
a key responsibility for managers and supervisors; therefore, they have a
considerable amount of responsibility for overseeing the successful running of
a series of integrated activities involved in team building. The recruitment
process involves identifying the skills required from new team members. This is
referred to as a job analysis and a person specification can be developed,
outlining all the expected qualifications and qualities that a new team member
should have. This will help the business with screening, selecting, and hiring
applicants. This helps cohesive teams by integrating new employees to the
organisation.
In order to introduce new employees to an organisation, it’s members, and it’s
working practices, an induction programme is put in place with a series of
activities. The induction is a good way of team building. A good induction
programme should include:
Describing where the facilities are, e.g. toilets.
Showing how the new employee fits into the team.
Health and safety information (Legal requirement)
An explanation of working terms and conditions
Details of the organisation’s history, it’s products, and services, and it’s values.
A clear outline of the job role/requirements.
The induction process helps cohesive teams by explaining their objectives and
with training employees
